I like Mastodon, but it’s greatest strength is Twitter’s greatest weakness and vice versa. Centralization means I can blunder into say, herpetologist Twitter, which I absolutely adore, instead of having to know liz.ard exists and then if awoo federates with it; but centralization means it’s always easy to encounter ultra rightwing Twitter AND if Twitter goes, say because new management is completely in love with an unviable business model, all of it goes.

@chimerror I really like CWs as a replacement for LiveJournal cut text, and I feel like having them as an option for stuff simply running long downplays other warnings, in a good way; it sets “I don’t have time to read through this” equal to “I don’t have emotional capacity to read this.”

Before this takeover, I thought of Twitter’s employees as basically hostile; people making incomes better than I could dream, enjoying lifestyles I’ll never enjoy, the sort of people the Bay Area wants, not shit like me; yet helping make the last Administration so much personal hell.

But all that was needed to make me really sympathetic to Twitter employees was instituting a legitimately toxic boss. I hope *they* land somewhere nicer.

@GraySpots at this point the barrage of stuff has just alienated me, and I just don’t feel wanted in the audience.

Uspol, gun control opinion, - 

Also Oregon passed an ordinance limiting magazines etc and now every pro gun leftist in my feed is screaming about this, not exactly enjoyable reading. It’s shitty that there’s no right answer here; no gun control measures mean people get shot all the damn time, but any gun control measures mean enforcement, and enforcement means police letting their ultra right buddies off while eagerly harming and killing whoever they want.

Unfollowed someone on Twitter because she is a fantastic artist, but I just can’t deal with the non art posts. Feel bad about this but buttons got pressed and this is the simplest resolution.

wow these guys sound *awesome*, I really hope they're not nazi assholes

good my lord Sussex, come and eat and drink and dance with us, stay a while and be most violently ill!

consider though how much he revitalized Twitter as a community since now we’re all talking about how much we revile his greedy fascist ass.

Shit, I have friends in Nebraska. I’m sorry.

Political opinion - 

Dear leftists, it’d be lovely if the DSA were good for more than criticizing Israel, but right now our only real options are vote for right leaning centrists who’d gladly step over our corpses for a tech boom, or let fundies, earth-rapist profiteers and Nazis run the country. Am I gonna run for public office as an anarchosocialist? No. Are you? Probably not. So we’re stuck with shitty Dems we need to somehow drag left, because we won’t get any chance with the fucking fash.

re: Dicks 

@LexYeen @rey and, this is just my bias but I naturally think of dickblick.com/

@anthracite I propose that as Bruce Wayne all he says is his butler's name.

"Alfred."
"Very well, Master Bruce. Shall I ready the helicopter for this evening's pursuit."
"Alfred Alfred Alfred."

most of this is BATMAN! but it's worth pointing out

06:20 "the occasion of y'daughtuh's wedding"

13:10 it's CHRISTMASTIME!

again I reiterate that there should be a Batman movie where his dialogue is nothing but saying BATMAN! repeatedly. I figure we should get Kevin Conroy for this.

what sort of joyless poopbucket goes out of their way to make a video dissing Eternal Champion? What's this person's damage, did they take his father's skull for use as a drinking goblet? Did they kill off his player character while running The Ghost Tower of Inverness?

have I told you about my 10th dwarf antipaladin, Khuzdul Razorstasche, and his all black rune-encrusted armor?

Gonna go buy pastrami and then I’m gonna eat it on hot dog buns or wrapped around hot dogs. With lots of mustard and pickles.
